Happy Monday everyone! We are back with more Stamp Features of the New Release from The Greeting Farm. Today we are showcasing a set called ENJOY featuring some cute, adorable bunnies!! This set also has a Coordinating Die Set available for purchase HERE.

I love this set! It's perfect for Easter or even a lovey dovey card since it has boy and girl bunnies. I think it's a really versatile set. I used dies from several different companies to create this card. The frame is from My Favorite Things. The grass is from C.C. Designs. The stitched hillside is from Poppy Dies. The sentiment was cut out using C.C. Designs Banner Accessories Die.

Happy Friday everyone! The Greeting Farm released 4 new stamps on the
15th. This month we took you to the land of fairies with Fairy Happy and Fairy
Garden. And who could pass up cute, adorable bunnies from the Enjoy
set. Then of course, you gotta be able to rock out from time-to-time
with the fabulous Rockstar Anya 2. All of the new stamps are perfect for
your cards, journals/planners, gift packages, and scrapbook layouts.

Don't forget to hop along on our TGF BLOG HOP for a chance to take home all 4 sets!! It's a short hop so come join us!

Today, the DT Leaders at The Greeting Farm are showcasing two coordinating stamp sets called Fairy Happy and Fairy Garden.

I LOVE these two sets!! When I saw them I knew I wanted to create a scene featuring a fairy wonderland! I looked at the fairy garden and figured I could stamp it multiple times and cut out various pieces to create my fairy village. It was some work, but in the end it turned out to be one of my favorite cards ever!

There were a lot of Copics used so I'm not going to list them all. If you have any questions on certain colors just ask and I'll let you know. They are pretty much my go-to Copic colors so you can always scroll through my blog to see my usual color combos. Some of the fairies and elements are raised on foam tape for added dimension. To make the clouds, I die-cut a cloud border from a Lawn Fawn die and then used chalk along the edges. The great thing about chalk is that it's more forgiving and you can always erase clouds that look funky and just go over that area again. Easy Peasy!

All of the new stamps are available for purchase HERE. I know you'll have fun with these two sets too!

Happy Thursday!! It's official, the MARCH RELEASE from C.C. Designs
is NOW available for purchase, Woo Hoo!! This release is so much fun! There are cute froggies, an adorable gnome, and of course some fabulous characters ready to chow down on some delicious cupcakes!

My card today features all the FROGGIES!! I played around with some alcohol ink and Yupo Paper. What is Yupo Paper you ask? It's a synthetic, tree-free paper that is non-absorbent. It resists buckling
with wet media. Because it's non-absorbent, alcohol ink (mixed with some alcohol) spreads across
it like water in a stream. If you spritz or add drops of alcohol to the ink on the paper, it causes the ink to
disperse or spread. It's pretty cool stuff. The only thing is that you have to let it dry for a while and then seal it (Krylon UV Resistant Clear Spray) so the ink doesn't rub off. It's definitely not something to do for a last minute project, LOL! Check out YouTube for more tips, tricks and inspiration!

I used the above green paper to make my froggies! And then I decided to do an alcohol/yupo background for the water. I used the Banners Accessories Die to cut out the sentiment. The sentiment and the bottom frogs are raised on foam tape.

Happy Sunday everyone! I hope your weekend is going great so far. Today, I'm showcasing a couple of Faith Stamps from The Greeting Farm. I love the set Grateful Heart that was released at the end of February so I decided to make another card with it. This time I combined it with a sentiment from the His Love set. These amazing sets are so versatile and can be used for Bible Journaling, planners, cards, bookmarks, and scrapbook layouts.

For this card I went old school and used a technique I learned years and years ago. You stamp your image on white cardstock with Versamark Watermark Ink, and then rub chalk over the image. The areas with the Versamark Ink show up darker while the rest is lighter. It's a great way to also add color to your bible pages without ink transferring through to the other side. LOVE IT!

I used the sentiment "Love like Jesus" from the His Love set. The sentiment stacks vertically, but I wanted it in a straight line so I used post-it notes to cover up certain words and stamped each word individually.

Lastly, I added enamel dots and raised the sentiment panel on pop-dots.

not do anything for Valentines day. Although this year I did get 4
chocolate covered strawberries because I had surgery on Monday and am
struggling with some pain issues, so my hubby and son felt bad for me
and picked them up as they are my favorite treat! They are also on my no
eat list, so it was a very special treat for me!!!

Congratulations
KIM!! Please email me your mailing address
(rosemary_bridges@yahoo.com), and I Am Roses will get these gorgeous
flowers in the mail to you!

I also have two runner ups for a smaller package of flowers coming directly from me:

Happy Monday everyone! We have a new Faith Stamp Release today at The Greeting Farm! I can't tell you how much I love these stamp sets! They
are so versatile and can be used for Bible Journaling, cards, bookmarks, and scrapbook layouts or
planners.

This year, we are releasing one stamp set a month! And to top it all off, The Greeting Farm
has a new, improved, and mobile-friendly Store!! It's a brand new site
so be sure to register again and update your password so you can stay
up-to-date on everything coming your way!

Today's set is called GRATEFUL HEART, and it is gorgeous! I knew as soon as I saw it that I wanted to create a wreath with the floral elements. I drew a circle lightly with pencil, and then I started to build it. I first gold-embossed the sentiment. Next, I added the largest rose in each corner and then the two smaller roses. After I embossed the flowers, I stamped the smaller rose twice on post-it note paper and cut them out so I could mask them before adding the vine part. Finally, I pulled out my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and watercolored the roses and leaves with a waterbrush.

I stamped all the characters on Cryogen Cardstock and colored them with Copic Markers.

Copics:

Skin: E000, E00, E01, E11, E13, E04

Hair: E71, E77, E79

Pink: RV02, RV04, RV06, RV09

White: C1, C3

Blue: B02, B04, B06

Gray Mouse: C2, C3, C5, RV00

Carriage: RV02, RV04, RV05, RV09, C5, C7, C9

Gold Metallic Sharpie Paint Pen

For the background scene, I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks. I cut out a cloud border from cardstock with a metal die to use as my template. To create the multi-colored sky, I rubbed the various inks over the cloud edge as I moved the cut-out down. I LOVE the work of Amy Yang and the fabulous clouds she makes on her cards! I used her card HERE for inspiration. I think the different colored clouds adds a magical feel to this princess card.

Now be sure to head over to the C.C. Designs Store to snatch up all of these awesome goodies!

Happy Tuesday everyone! The Greeting Farm released 3 new stamps on the
15th featuring some cute, adorable puppies, kitties, and dinos! They have been so much fun to color up, and definitely need to be a part of your collection. I'm back today to showcase this AWESOME set called HOW RAWR YOU? It's adorable and fabulous for boy or girl cards!

For my card today, I made another Polaroid scene card. When I need a larger Polaroid frame for a scene, I turn to my square dies and just make my own. It's pretty easy and that way you can make the center as big as you need to. Since the dinos were so colorful, I decided to keep my background pretty simple.

Copics:

Dino 1: YG93, YG95, YG97, Y32, Y21, YR23

Dino 2: V15, V17, BV08, RV63, RV55, RV19

Dino 3: YR65, YR06, YR07, YR09, E09

Trees: YG25, YG17, YG67, G28

The background paper/cardstock were scraps in my stash, along with the washi tape.

I used the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Marker on the black cardstock to add even more sparkle!
